Clear, detail-oriented, engaged, and extremely helpful

I recommend Mr. Udall highly to anyone who is considering applying for a K-1 visa and/or green card. He has been extremely helpful to me and my wife, who immigrated from India this year. I am certain that by employing Mr. Udall, we saved at least several months in the K-1 process as well as lowering... the frustration levels involved. Through each step of this journey, Mr. Udall has provided clear, detailed guidance. I was hesitant at first about hiring an attorney for this process, but engaging Mr. Udall has proven to be absolutely the right choice and well worth the investment.

Eye For Every Tiny Detail

Having had a rough experience doing the application ourselves (only for it to be denied), we were glad of the help and meticulous guidance he provided us. We were told exactly what to send and how to fill in the forms in detail with nothing being left to chance and given time lines to work with so th...at we had an idea of how long each stage would take from the forms and them reaching the centre to the processing times and rough estimates around the interview stage also. We cant recommend Matthew Udall's services enough and are really grateful for everything he has done for us.

Very efficient, the best experience

I hired Matthew to obtain a fiancée visa. From day one, Matthew provided the assistant and help required to achieve this visa. He made sure I was informed 100% through out the process. Through Matthew experience, we were granted the visa.

‘A Lawyer you’ll swear by. Not at!’ Continued….

Immigration can be overwhelming for most couples since it involves two different countries, time, distance and unavoidable legalities. The Legal part is absolutely necessary and therefore unavoidable. That said, the only other element within one’s control is how one manages the ‘overwhelming’ part.... Fortunately, choosing Matthew as our Immigration attorney was one of the best decisions Andy - my now Husband and author of the recommendation ‘A Lawyer you’ll swear by. Not at’ (posted on this website, dated October 25, 2015) - and I have ever made. In doing so we completely got rid of the ‘overwhelming’ part! Our K-1 Finace Visa (the first step in the immigration process that allowed me to travel to the United States with the intention of marrying Andy) was approved and issued in 5 months. Thanks to Matthew, this was smooth and hassle free. (At this point, reading Andy’s comments may help you understand the process and the pivotal role Matthew played) The Immigration process however does not end with the K-1 Visa. Once I entered the U.S and we got married, we continued to work with Matthew, this time, to apply for an ‘Adjustment of Status’. Despite both of us now being in the same country and this phase of Immigration being less complicated than the K-1 Visa phase, Matthew’s attention to us as clients and detail to his work continued to be professional. This is truly noteworthy and we will always appreciate the personal touch in the way Matthew managed our case from his articulate emails, preparatory phone calls, timely execution/ filing of important paperwork to updates and much more that ensured we were always one step ahead of the game. After we got married and I applied for an Adjustment of status , it took about 3 months for my EAD work card and (conditional) Permanent Resident Status to come through. The officer at the Spousal interview (the final stage just before approval) complimented us on how thorough our paperwork had been filed and that right there is the result of working with a good attorney for immigration!! Did I mention, at no point did we ever feel overwhelmed, confused or intimidated by what would normally, understandable be a very overwhelming situation. All thanks to Matthew. That said, while Matthew will do more than his fair share to ensure success rates in all his cases, it is equally important for the client to make sure they do their part (furnish information timely and accurately, complete tasks and processes needed of them etc) for the equation to work well. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Matthew. He is one heck of an attorney who is passionate about his work, ensuring his clients will swear by and not at him!!

A Lawyer you’ll swear by. Not at.

That’s exactly how my fiancé and I would describe Mr. Udall in a sentence! Filing a K-1 Fiance Visa was something we did not want to take a risk with and hence retaining a lawyer of the highest caliber was of the utmost importance. Matthew Udall, in managing our case throughout, has always bee...n client focused and result driven. He is professional in his instructions and clear & concise in his advice. Despite having other clients and communicating with us across continents with different time zones, Matthew was always available when we needed him to clarify queries and next steps. We are grateful for his personal attention to our case . Matthew is clearly passionate about his career and it shows in the way he respects the law to the letter, but also in the way he enjoys challenging situations and driving outcomes. What makes him uniquely different and therefore better, is his creative approach in combining a) knowledge of the law , b) experiences in past cases, and c) new techniques he discovers on the job, and applying these to current cases. He is therefore continuously improving his delivery timelines and performance because he is always in ‘learning mode’. Filing the K-1 Visa is no easy task that happens overnight , but working with Matthew gave us the confidence to proceed. From introductory emails explaining the process, to preliminary collection of information to the actual filing of the case and the case moving from desk to desk across 2 countries, our K-1 Visa was approved and issued in 5 months. The process was smoother and quicker than expected and Matthew played a pivitol role through his proactive engagement, personal follow-ups & adherence to timelines. Matthew’s delivery and services well exceeded our expectations. The cost was fair and modest considering the amazing value Matthews services provided to us (Saving us both time and headaches all through the process). We would like to stress here that a client’s cooperation is also important in the success of the case, determining how fast or slow it may move. Matthew may do his best , bringing all he has to the table, but the client(s) must also be on the same page and put in equal if not more effort in driving results. In the end what made all the difference in getting our job done, was a great working relationship with Matthew. Obtaining this Visa was a process we actually enjoyed and would highly recommend that if it’s results you are looking for, Matthew Udall is unflinchingly, unapologetically your guy!!
